SPICE- MILL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 459,854, dated September 22, 1891.

Application filed June 27, 1891.

To all whom t may con/cern,.-

Be it known that I, ALEXANDER MAILLOT, of New York city, New York, have invented an Improved Spice-Mill, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a spice-mill which can be readily kept clean and which permits its contents to be inspected.

The invention consists in the various features of improvement more fully pointed ont in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is an elevation of my improved spice-mill; Fig. 2, a vertical central section of the same; and Fig. 3, a cross-section on line ce 00, Fig. 2.

The letter c represents a tubular case or shell having an oli'set o at its lower end,that is received by a hollow tubular base l), upon which the shell is free to revolve. Across the lower end ofthe shell ct there is secured a cross-bar c, from which depends the shaft c of the grinding-cone c2. The grinding-shell c3, surrounding the cone and Working in conjunction therewith in the usual manner, is secured within the bore of the base b. The shaft c' passes through the cone o2 and carries at its lower threaded end a nut c4, by which the mill can be adjusted to finer or coarser work.

Within the shell a there is placed a glass Serial No. 397,698. (No model.)

, At the top the shell a is closed by a suitable lid e.

The advantage of my improved mill is that dust and other impurities will not adhere to or impregnate the same, and that it can be easily cleaned. The holes a2, moreover, permit the contents of the mili to be freely iuspected at all times.

Vhat I claim is- The combination of tubular perforated shell a with interior glass cylinder (l, crossbar c, extending across the lower end of shell a and having downwardly-depending shaft c', grinding-cone c2, secured to shaft c', and with the hollowbase b, grinding-shell c3 within such base and surrounding the cone, and an adjusting-nut c" on shaft c', substantially as specified.
